Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Dortmund paid 200G for the purchase price of more than 40 kilograms of fresh Panax notoginseng. There were 115 poisonous mushrooms in total, which were relatively easy to pick. Lin Xia chose one as a gift for Dortmund, and sold the other 114 to the hospital at 100G each, with a total income of 1.14G.

Just as he was about to leave after selling the things, Duote asked Lin Xia to wait for a moment: "Lin Xia, thanks to you, I have continued to sell a lot of poisonous mushrooms to the hospital. The hospital has developed some antidotes. For some toxins from plants and common animals, they can effectively remove the poison. However, for some special toxins, they can only alleviate one or two. Do you want to buy some?"

Lin Xia was curious: "Hey~ New products are on the market, why didn't you send an email like usual?"

Dot: "Because the dosage of the antidote developed now is not large, it cannot be sold in large quantities, so the hospital's advice is to sell it in a targeted manner, that is, to select some customers who need the antidote the most and sell it one-on-one. I see that you often go into the mountains and the sea, and I think you should be the most likely person in our town to use it."

Lin Xia agreed: "How much is a bottle? I'll buy a few bottles!"

Dortmund: "There is not much supply now. I can only sell you 5 bottles at most. Each bottle is 3000G."

The price is more expensive than the big rebound agent and the big wake-up agent combined, but I really need it, so I keep it for safety, and I readily paid for it.

Then he asked, "Which toxins can't be removed? What are those special toxins you mentioned?"

Dortmund: "For example, snake venom cannot be completely eliminated. You need snake serum. There are also some poisonous insects, such as scorpions, centipedes, toads, etc. If you encounter these poisonous creatures, remember to be careful. Of course, if you are poisoned accidentally, as long as you take the antidote in time, although it cannot detoxify, it can save your life for 24 hours. Just go to the hospital for treatment in time.

If you have the ability, you can bring back these poisons and sell them to the hospital. We will buy them at a high price. By then, we may be able to develop a medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons!"

Lin Xia said that she understood and that if she had the strength left to save her life, she would definitely bring it back.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Xia turned around and went to the orchard. Today was Mana's birthday. Lin Xia originally wanted to prepare a mushroom rice as a gift for her because she had picked a lot of mushrooms recently! However, because mushrooms are not rare now, Lin Xia gave up. Lin Xia did not show off her favorite juice. She was the owner of the orchard and sold juice.

Later, Lin Xia changed to a big fish. She remembered that at the Harvest Festival two days ago, Mana seemed to like the hot pot with fish very much. So she might as well give her the fish ingredients!

Sure enough, the proprietress is also a housewife. She was very happy to see the fresh ingredients. After happily accepting them, she pulled Lin Xia aside to chat for a long time. If Lin Xia hadn’t said that she had something to do when she got home, she would probably have eaten lunch at her house.

After returning home, Lin Xia looked at the remaining buds of the fantasy grass and found that there was not a single mutant flower. She could only remove them all and sow the seeds of the fantasy grass again, hoping for good news on the 16th.

Nothing special happened in the next few days. On the morning of the 12th, she went to Gotz's house to pick up the custom-made antique display racks and ornament racks. In the afternoon, under the guidance of Zack, she took a boat to a rocky beach and found a lot of seafood that suited Lin Xia's taste.

There is also a small episode here. Seeing the electric inflatable motorboat driven by Zach, Lin Xia asked Huo An if he had any kayaks for sale. Boating on the lake is also a very pleasant thing!

But Huo An retorted: "It's in the hunting set I sold you. Didn't you study it carefully?"

"There are kayaks inside?" Lin Xia was really surprised this time.

Huo An said proudly: "Of course, I've already said that what I sell is a luxury set, which contains almost all the existing tools needed for hunting. Of course, this kind of water tool is included, and there is more than one. Go back and take a good look. If you don't understand it, there is an instruction manual inside. If you can't even understand the instruction manual, come back to me."

Lin Xia felt embarrassed and immediately pulled Zack away.

The 13th is the Moon-Watching Festival in Mineral Town. From 6pm to midnight on that day, you can prepare moon-watching meatballs and invite your favorite person of the opposite sex to the top of Our Lady Mountain to eat meatballs and watch the moon together.

Lin Xia was interested in watching the moon and eating meatballs, but she didn't have a favorite person of the opposite sex yet, so she took Ah Huang to the top of the mountain with her ingenuity, and also brought a beautiful lantern that she had bought from Huo An to the top of the mountain, which attracted the girls on the mountain to watch. How can you watch the moon without a lantern?

In his other free time, Lin Xia basically stayed in the mountains, picking mushrooms, hammering chestnuts and walnuts, and occasionally practicing archery. Not only are there more prey in autumn, but they are also fatter. It seems that the animals are taking advantage of the autumn harvest season to gain weight desperately in order to cope with the lack of food in winter!

Oh, by the way, starting from the 12th, Kappa’s daily tribute became enoki mushrooms mixed with cucumber shreds, sprinkled with chili oil and white sesame seeds. I don’t know if Kappa likes it or not, but Lin Xia likes it very much anyway.

The next morning after watching the moon, Lin Xia just walked out of the house and was greeted by Dick, the owner of the orchard: "Good morning, Lin Xia~"

"Good morning, Dick. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Lin Xia was indeed a little curious. She had a good relationship with Dick's wife Mana, but not so good with Dick. After all, she was a girl, and she had to be very careful about the sense of propriety when getting along with the opposite sex, especially those who had a partner.

"It's like this. I heard from Mana that you haven't been very busy recently, so I wanted to ask if you could come to my orchard tomorrow to help harvest grapes? Of course, I'll pay you for your work."

Oh, I remember now. Last time when I gave Mana a birthday present, I talked about it. Recently, the work on the ranch has been on the right track, so I finally don’t have to be tied to the ranch all the time. Recently, I have a lot of free time, going up the mountains and down the sea, just like on a picnic...

"Okay, I'm really not very busy recently. Are the grapes in your orchard ripe? Hey? Shouldn't grapes be harvested in summer?" At least the grapes in the mountains and the grapes planted by Lin Xia herself no longer bear fruit at the end of summer.

Dick explained with a smile: "This batch of grapes is a new variety introduced from Huo An. They are harvested in the fall. The yield and sweetness are said to be greater than wild grapes. I have tasted them and they are indeed sweeter. However, the yield can only be known after all the grapes are harvested and weighed."

Lin Xia said with interest: "That's great. I will ask Huo An to buy some to plant later."

"You can plant it, but I have to tell you in advance that this kind of grape will only bear fruit three years after planting, unlike wild grapes, which will produce in the first year. You have to be prepared. Because of this, Mana disagreed with replacing the entire orchard with new varieties of grapes and kept half of the wild grapes. However, after this trial, if the yield of the new variety of grapes is higher than that of the wild grapes, I have to persuade Mana. Even if we don't replace all of them with new varieties, we have to increase it to at least two-thirds, and just keep some of the original wild grapes..."

Lin Xia: "What you said makes sense~"

"Hehe~ Yeah, thank you for coming to help tomorrow! Come to my house around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Lin Xia nodded to indicate that it was no problem, and watched Dick leave. When he was about to walk out of the ranch gate, Dick seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned back to Lin Xia and said, "By the way, if there are other guys who can help, please help me find them. Please! I have to go back and get busy."

"Okay, leave it to me!" Lin Xia agreed confidently.

Afterwards, after finishing the morning routine, Lin Xia took Ah Huang on a one-day tour of the town with the purpose of training him. They first went to the nearest blacksmith shop to find Gray and asked him if he wanted to go to the orchard to work tomorrow.

Gray: "No, no, if I don't go to my own blacksmith shop to practice, but go out to work, and do a job that has nothing to do with forging, I will be scolded by my grandfather."

Thinking about Sabara's devotion to the blacksmith, Lin Xia said goodbye to Gray with understanding.
